Judge Vellis has to answer for not allowing the defense expert to testify--that is inexcusable.

Sadly, though, Ainge should resign him. Only because the C's are already over the cap, which may shrink next season, so they really have no other option. But an expanded role?

I'm glad you brought up Thibodeau. My brother and I were talking this morning about how, with Thibs around, the Celtics almost never gave up those 38, 40-point nights to star players.
